The Whites signed Van den Heuvel on a three-year contract in August 2020 after he spent three years with Eredivisie side Ajax.
Last season, the 19-year-old featured seven times for the Leeds Under-21 side, where he managed two clean sheets.

His performance with the Whites youth side earned him a Netherlands Under-19s call up.
While on international duty, Van den Heuvel was involved in a car accident that left him with a severe neck injury and fractured vertebrae.
The 19-year-old has not been involved with the Leeds squad during the past three months and was going through rehabilitation.
Today, Van den Heuvel joined the Leeds squad for the first time since his injury at Thorp Arch for training sessions.
Youngster Van den Heuvel’s triumphant recovery from a major injury that sidelined him for more than three months has been welcomed by Leeds United.
Now that he is nearing full fitness, Van den Heuvel will be expected to compete with other goalkeepers for a spot between the posts with Michael Skubala’s Under-21s Premier League 2 outfit.
